Currently, Bradford 10 Castleford 50.

Oh dear. Yes, it's a friendly; yes, it's good to find out now where the work needs doing but blimey!

I just hope we haven't pished off the rest of Super League to such a degree we can't have a loan forward or two!!

We have a decent side this year. I'm sure the game in 2 week will be far more competitive.

Line up; Foster, Kear, Henry, Purtell, Saltonstall, Addy, Gale, Scruton, O'Brien, Manuokafoa, Olbison, Ferguson, Donaldson. Subs; Diskin, Roberts, Sidlow, Bates, Walker, Conroy.

No Sammut, Gaskell or Carvell.

Kearney,George or Blythe

54-10

To be honest, I'm more concerned about our potential points deduction.

Yeah but Kearney and Blythe are set to miss the start of the season so I didn't include them. Forgot about George.

Or George, again.

This doesn't really excuse what sounds like an abject performance. I'm not trying to be overly harsh, but something needs to be done to address the lack of depth at prop for starters. Oh, and tackling.

60-10

Looks like we clocked off after 20 mins

10-66 FT

So we've had 3 pre season friendlies and only had one where our half back played together. Why oh why are we using this to play Addy at half back. Unless Gaskell and Sammut are injured then its a poor decision to have just had one pre season friendly with out first choice half backs. Some of our players have only had 1 pre season friendly!

Our opening 3 games are crucial to our season ad we may be going into it very undercooked

Find a fullback that can tackle. Abysmal.

Purtell was terrible . I am usually a fan ofhim but today he was pointless. Also foster is not a fullback . I think gaskell played very well there against hull. My only possible thread of hope after that match is that we were trying to play badly to trick everyone.
